Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 679 - 298: Ghost Axe
Previously on Cultivating with Top Enlightenment...
Shock swept across everyone's faces at first, then gave way to bewilderment.
They had no clue what Ning Qi intended by moving the whole Sect.
Did he plan to haul away every resource and reconstruct the Infinite Sword Sect right in the heart of the Profound Truth Realm, or shift the entire Infinite Sword Sect itself?
The first option might work somehow, but the second one? They couldn't even fathom it without trembling.
The Infinite Sword Sect sprawls over such an enormous area—transporting the full sect territory seems like utter nonsense.
On top of that, the Infinite Sword Sect lies quite a distance from the former Profound Truth Secret Realm location. Even back in his Primordial Spirit Realm days, Ning Qi had needed over half a month to get there aboard a Treasure Ship.
Sure, his cultivation had soared to the Integration Realm now, but zipping around solo was one matter; uprooting a massive sect? That could drag on forever.
The Sword Ancestor muttered under his breath, "Kid, are you joking?"
Without wasting words, Ning Qi unleashed his Primordial Spirit to dispatch a message, sharing the Ghost Axe Mountain Shifting Technique with all those gathered.
He further directed the Infinite Sword Sect folks to spread it to the True Inheritors and down to the Outer Sect disciples.
Using their Spiritual Sense, everyone swiftly scanned the Ghost Axe Mountain Shifting Technique, and after one pass, they found themselves poring over it a second time in awe.
Though labeled as a technique for shifting mountains, what truly floored them was its incredibly broad scope.
Beyond outlining superior methods for handling Spiritual Qi, it weaves in the profound essence of the Array Path. It dives into artifact refining principles too, and from those insights, one could grasp certain combat moves...
Infinite Sword Sect disciples took it in stride, accustomed as they were, but visitors from other sects, gifted with these two techniques from Ning Qi, wore faces lit with stunned delight—like they'd struck gold!
Deep down, their reverence for Ning Qi grew even fiercer. It made perfect sense why, under his leadership as Sect Leader, the Infinite Sword Sect had transformed so dramatically, leaping ahead of every rival sect in no time.
Once all had absorbed it, Ning Qi went on, "Take a brief break now, as I rework the Sect's array formation. Soon after, I'll draw on your power to move the whole Sect as one."
Ning Qi laid it out plainly: shifting the entire Infinite Sword Sect demanded collective effort from them all.
Right then, the Infinite Sword Sect brimmed with the mightiest experts from every sect across the Profound Truth Realm. Prior to arriving, nobody had dreamed Ning Qi would form the Profound Truth Alliance, much less that they'd dive headfirst into something so wildly improbable.
Per the Domain Master's words, this relocation of the Infinite Sword Sect implied dragging along the sect's complete domain.
In that instant, profound astonishment surged through every soul there, poised on the brink of beholding a true wonder!
With his words done, Ning Qi soared skyward, ascending higher.
"All you array formation experts in the sect, come forth!"
From the Infinite Sword Sect, a full tenth of the cultivators leaped into action, streaking out to cluster before Ning Qi.
Excitement buzzed through each one, their admiration for the Sect Leader's mastery of arrays unmatched.
Ever since the Sect Leader overhauled the Sect's Grand Array, not a single one had earned a spot in deploying the Sect's Grand Array—the Infinite Sword Sect's current Sect Protection Array stood as flawless perfection.
Day to day, these array specialists mainly aided in upkeep for the Grand Array, devoting their hours to studying diverse array techniques straight from the Sect Leader's creation.
They spotted zero weaknesses in it, and the deeper their grasp grew, the more they revered Ning Qi from the core of their beings.
Yet now, the Sect Leader aimed to refashion this impeccable Grand Array—what could that signal?
It signaled that even in laying the prior array, the Sect Leader had held back his utmost power, yet it had already gifted them invaluable lessons!
And this time, guiding them to remake the Grand Array under his lead? For the array cultivators, it was a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
Ning Qi swept his gaze over the sect's array cultivators and promptly split them into six teams.
"Follow my orders closely."
"Yes!"
Straightaway, Ning Qi unlocked the Infinite Sword Sect's treasury, channeling his Primordial Spirit Power to pull out endless Spirit Stones alongside a horde of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
He picked out the essentials for every phase of the array reforging, stacking them into heaps, and dove right into the forging.
With deft hand seals, Ning Qi reshaped Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, or blasted them with True Flame to purge flaws, or infused rules into them, or etched tiny arrays upon their surfaces...
All onlookers were seasoned cultivators, many boasting potent Primordial Spirit strength, yet even they reeled in a daze, overwhelmed as Ning Qi's every gesture pulsed with the rhythm of the Dao.
Up in the air, the array cultivators beamed with joy; though most grasped only fragments, they still gained subtle insights.
Time blurred by unnoticed, until 360 tiny Array Bases floated in the void encircling Ning Qi.
Ning Qi jabbed a finger forward.
In a flash, 60 Array Bases broke away, each serving unique roles, subtly forming a miniature cosmos among them.
Then, swarms of Spirit Stones and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures hurtled toward key spots across the Infinite Sword Sect.
"The array bases are in place—head there and enhance the following features on them."
"Yes!"
Ning Qi dispatched one of the six array cultivator teams to that spot without delay.
Over decades, he'd nurtured so many array talents in the sect, and their moment to shine had arrived.
Ning Qi would oversee the Grand Array's broad structure and vital core entirely, but the finer points? He wouldn't micromanage those.
The remaining five teams received their assignments from Ning Qi in turn.
He held no doubts about their success, having imprinted the enhancement methods into each team's minds via Primordial Spirit Power.
Down below, folks from various sects craned their necks toward Ning Qi, witnessing him craft 360 arrays in mere two quarter hours, fresh waves of shock rippling across their features.
